You can always use "bzr revert -r 1" to change your current state to the
first revision, and then "bzr revert" to change it back to the latest
revision.

However, it sounds like what you want is to upload to the server the
first revision, and not touch your local copy.

How are you updating the server version? Just with a plain ftp upload?

I know there is the 'bzr-upload' plugin, which is designed around that
sort of thing, but I don't know if it supports specifying an exact
version to upload. If it does (and it lets you upload versions older
than the current one) that might be a reasonable way to do it.
